About the Role
We Are Your Friends is a London design agency that builds brands and designs ad campaigns for the live music industry. We create assets that sell shows, tours, festivals, venues, comedy, and spoken word for promoters and producers. Our work is fast-paced and highly visible, appearing across social media, out-of-home (OOH), press ads, underground posters, and campaign identities that must work from digital crops to six-sheet posters.

As a Midweight Graphic Designer, you will take briefs from account and creative leads and manage them through to delivery across campaign identity, tour artwork, poster design, and digital assets. This is a craft-focused role where attention to typography, layout, and balancing artist imagery with promoter information is paramount.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include designing show and tour campaign artwork for digital and print, poster design from headline tour art to venue and festival collateral, building full asset suites (socials, OOH, press, print, and web), contributing to brand identity work for venues, festivals, and promoters, preparing artwork for print and liaising with printers and media partners on specifications, presenting work to internal stakeholders and clients, working to tight deadlines, and maintaining accurate and up-to-date timesheets.

Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign at a professional standard.
Strong eye for typography with the ability to set type well and explain why it works.

Comfortable working across both digital and print media.
Experience in brand and identity work beyond artwork execution.
Ability to present and explain design thinking and adapt quickly.
Reliable with deadlines and well-organized in managing workload.
Comfortable using AI tools in production workflows such as masking, retouching, and upscaling.

About You
